Double-time!: Inertial Healing

[homoaddictus]

The deck is a great AI3 EM farmer but pretty much stops right there.

The deck is a great AI3 EM farmer but pretty much stops right there.

Actually my testing proves the opposite.  This deck generally has a better win % versus top 50 than it will against AI3 due to the shear amount of poison and rewind you find in AI3.  This deck is also decently successful as a PVP deck.  In PvP against decks such as mono aether I will EM every time with this deck.  Depending on the draw and how quickly you can get out multiple staves, it can even keep up with fast rush decks due to its healing.

This version is much more effective as an EM deck for AI3.  It removes the momentums and replaces them with cockatrices and a pillar.  Not as good of a deck overall, but it is faster and has more critters to take CC away from the staves.  However, a shield will severly hamper this decks progress.

When scorpion comes out I will test those in this deck and see if the healing makes the poison worth my while.

Oh look, it is that deck I quit on when I vs it.  When even one epinephrine stave is out, it is damn near game over.

No time to test this right now but there are a couple of problems I can spot.

1. This deck doesn't use much , meaning that the quanta generated by your mark is partly wasted. I think it would be better to either change the mark and drop Unstoppable, or take more cards from . That would make the deck more efficient.

2. Like many have said, and you also say in your original post, this deck is highly combo-dependent which can be a bit of a problem at times.


Other than that, it looks good to me.

good point. i suggest putting in a black hole or two so that the deck can counter rainbows easily.

some of the things I've done with the interesting Druidic Staff decks is add Aether to it;
specifically TU's and possibly Quintessence.
basically what I suggest is that rather than animating one weapon after another
(and let's face it, Staff without Adrenaline is worthless)
you just copy the existing ones.

When I get a chance, I will try this deck with pendalums and chargers and see i can get a better quantum balance.  As SG points out, there generally tends to be much more gravty quanta than 4 1 cost will use.

Unstoppable healing frenzies, brilliant .

I finally took time to give this deck a thorough reevaluation now that pendulums are out.  Before gravity qaunta was grossly underused and the deck was a bit slow due to the high cost of Jade dragons.  To balance quanta use, I needed a gravity card to replace the damage from the Jade dragons.  Step in Elite Charger whos momentum fits with the theme and whos 7 attack nicely becomes 15 if epi is used on it.  I am much happier with the way this version works.  May be time for a new name.

Let me know what you guys think.  The ?? are Life Pendulums.

Bah, having faced Napalm's unupped version of Charge of the Life Brigade! (the deck with the annoying spoilers ), I can tell that this deck is solid.  Elite Chargers are a force to be reckoned with when Adrenaline hits and you can expect to knock the opponent down and fast.

Yeah 12 unstoppable damage and 20 healing from a staff and 15 unstoppable damage from a charger take out the opponent quite quick.  2 chargers throws down 30 damage per turn.

So any suggestion for a new name? the Jade Dragons are going to bed.
